Doxycycline as a post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy-PEP) reduced the risk of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in a randomised controlled trial of men who have sex with men taking HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), transgender women taking HIV PrEP, and people living with HIV. 1 There is concern that increased consumption of doxycycline might increase antimicrobial resistance, including doxycycline-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. 2–4 Antibiotic use might change with the introduction of doxy-PEP; estimating this change could inform considerations of the risks of antimicrobial resistance and the benefits of STI prevention. We estimated the first-order expected increase in antibiotic consumption in the USA under several doxy-PEP prescribing scenarios (appendix pp 1–2). We accounted for defined daily doses, hereafter referred to as doses, of antibiotics that could be averted due to the prevention of chlamydia (doxycycline), gonorrhoea (ceftriaxone), and syphilis (penicillin) infections by doxy-PEP, with rates of consumption (ie, four doses per personmonth) and relative risk estimates as reported in the DoxyPEP trial (appendix p 5). 1We estimated that 0· 86 million people in the USA might be eligible for doxy-PEP under the enrolment criteria of the DoxyPEP trial (ie, up to an estimated 0· 53 million people living with HIV and up to an estimated 0· 33 million people currently taking HIV PrEP; appendix p 5); however, we did not include their requirement of an
